 Hi,

 I am using dblatex 0.3.12 built with MacPorts.

 The handling of Unicode characters does not seem correct to me.

 The dblatex option

     latex.encoding=utf8

 should result in a UTF-8 .tex file with Unicode characters as is except
 within a listing environment. In that case, the Unicode characters need to
 be properly escaped. As far as I am concerned, they need no additional
 translation/mapping.

 TEST #1
 =======

 The following produces a .tex file as expected

   % dblatex --type=tex -o mytest.tex mytest.xml

 The following does *NOT* produce a .tex file as expected.

   % dblatex -P latex.encoding=utf8 --type=tex -o mytest.tex mytest.xml

 In the above, the escape characters in the listing are incorrect.

 TEST #2
 =======

 The following does *NOT* produce a .tex file as *FAILS* expected

   % dblatex --type=tex -o mytest2.tex mytest2.xml

 I recommend a more meaningful error message that includes the suggestion
 to use UTF-8 and xelatex.

 The following should produce the expected .tex file but does *NOT*.

   % dblatex -P latex.encoding=utf8 --type=tex -o mytest2.tex mytest2.xml

 Again, the escape characters in the listing are incorrect.

 TEST #3
 =======

 The following does *NOT* produce a .tex file as *FAILS* expected.

   % dblatex --type=tex -o mytest3.tex mytest3.xml

 The missing characters could be optionally added to the mapping table and
 then the test would work.

 The following does work correctly.

   % dblatex -P latex.encoding=utf8 --type=tex -o mytest3.tex mytest3.xml


 Please let me know if you need additional information.

 Thanks.
